DFPRO™
Bend the Rules with DFPRO

Donaldson’s DFPRO sets a new higher standard for filtration performance, efficiency
and productivity. By re-thinking cartridge shape from the conventional circle to the
innovative oval, Donaldson has bent the rules and uncovered a powerful new filtration
technology that increases airflow through the collector while prolonging filter life.
Only available from Donaldson, DFPRO enlists oval-shaped filters and patented Ultra-
Web® filter media to provide the most sophisticated and efficient solution for filtering
dust and fumes from the manufacturing floor. Expertly engineered for better filter
cleaning efficiency and easier filter maintenance, DFPRO gives you the power to
perform like never before.

Empowered by Oval

DFPRO might look like just another collector on the outside. But inside DFPRO are
the ingredients that distinguish this groundbreaking collector from the competition.
Engineered to provide more airflow without increasing the size of the collector, DFPRO
allows you to add filtration capacity with a same-sized collector or drop down a size in
collector while maintaining filtration capacity. Designed with hinged-door access to
filters on two sides, DFPRO fits into corners, requires no extra wiring and easily
connects to ductwork.

Oval Cartridges Donaldson’s unique oval-shaped cartridge filters were

designed using sophisticated computer-modeling technology to allow more airflow
through the collector without increasing velocity. In fact, oval filters have fewer areas
of high velocity (red areas) than conventional circular filters, which reduces the risk of
filter abrasion and prolongs filter life.

Ultra-Web Filter Media Donaldson’s proprietary mesh-like nanofiber

technology allows Ultra-Web to filter more efficiently than filters with standard cellulose,
polyester or cellulose/polyester blend media. By trapping more contaminant on the surface
of the filter than depth-loading media, Ultra-Web filters more easily release and expel
contaminant from the filter, which results in longer filter life and less filter maintenance.

High Performance Filters

Donaldson filters are precisely engineered to the meet the same high standards of
quality, performance and reliability provided in our collectors. Offering a full range of
filter options to meet most any filtration application, our exclusive Ultra-Web filter
media is by far the most advanced filtration technology available.
Ultra-Web® Engineered with proprietary nanofiber technology, Ultra-Web
cartridges provide unequaled, extremely high filtration efficiency to ensure longest filter
life and lowest operating pressure.
Thermo-Tek ™ Designed for high-temperature applications, Thermo-Tek
cartridges offer exceptional filtration efficiency with a special heat-resistant media and
gaskets that maintain seal strength and integrity at temperatures up to 135° C.
Fibra-Web® Offering an open washable design for
easy cleaning in both fibrous and non-fibrous
(agglomerative) applications, Fibra-Web with
nanofiber technology provides a blend of synthetic
fibers in the base media and even wider pleat spacing to
achieve high filtration efficiency.
Torit-Tex™ Providing high filtration efficiency and
longer filter life in moist, hygroscopic and
agglomerative applications, Torit-Tex is engineered
with flexing media and quick-release Tetratex™ PTFE
membrane that consists of extremely small pore sizes,
allowing air and moisture vapor to pass efficiently even
in difficult applications.
